Abstract

This writing takes as matter the regulation in the Spanish law about behaviors, such as the inducement or assistance to suicide, form one side, and the euthanasia, from the other one. It is expressed how the Spanish regulation in this matter is poor and far from being clear; and the difficulties of application of these laws, making a consideration to the role played by the consent in Spain when it is pretended to end a life.
